Matzo Pizza: A Passover Tradition Gets a Creative Twist

During Passover, when Jews eat unleavened bread called matzo, pizza has become a popular dish. Ten-year-old Hudson Greenstein started selling matzo pizza after being inspired at a local restaurant and has expanded to two locations this year. Matzo, a staple of the holiday, has a long history of being used in creative ways, such as in ancient pita-like forms. While some Hasidic Jews avoid adding liquids to matzo, many others have embraced matzo pizza as an American Jewish recipe.
